For the last few years the awesome kids of Dustown Sounds have been putting on increasingly bigger shows with increasingly bigger lineups of their signature desert/psych/garage sound. Ending this year with a band, or one last massive distorted chord out of an overdriven rickenbacker, depending on how you look at it, they’ve managed to get together a mini festival stretching over two nights in two of Berlin’s best venues, Bassy Cowboy Club in Mitte and Festsaal in Kreuzberg. Tickets are 19€ and allow you entrance into both venues on both nights.
On the first night at Bassy, the lineup is topped by the amazing Siena Root out of Sweden with the show following on just days after the release of their brand new double album Root Jam. Supporting are, straight out of the USA but regular visitors to Berlin, The Flying Eyes. They’re here as part of their Don’t Make Me Cry tour, a massive 27 date European cannonball run starting in Poland and ending in Austria.
The second night, hosted at the ever hospitable Festsaal Kreuzberg, features a massive line-up with DJs for afterwards making it so that the party kicks on until the first of the autumn sun peaks out over the Sunday morning. Baby Woodrose out of Denmark headline supported by German acts Okta Logue (pictured), Stonehenge and special guests Moon.
The night doesn’t end there, after the main acts in Festsaal are finished, in the basement runs another small lineup featuring German bands Pyrior and Grandloom. There’s techno DJs playing after that but you’re going to be drunk and rocked out by that point, if somehow you manage to scrape yourself up off the floor enough to dance to techno, you really haven’t tried hard enough while the bands were playing.
